yeah, thats the one thing i didnt get. The originals while bad ass, are cheesy as ****. Just like the newer ones.

My youngest son (15) can't stand the originals. Says the acting is terrible (most talking about Hamill). I can't say I disagree but still love the original trilogy. I think kids today are more sophisticated.

They need to pattern any new Star Wars after the animated series, which is darker.

The acting in the original Star Wars is laughable, especially Harrison Ford.

I suppose that depends on how you define kiddie. If you label the prequels as that just because of Jar Jar, I think that's an over-statement.

It's not that they're aimed at children. It's that they're BAD, HORRIBLE movies. Terrible. Poorly acted, poorly directed. If you can find the time between checking all of our local gas prices, you might watch Plinkett's reviews of Episodes I, II and III at redlettermedia.com. He ablely identifies everything about them that completely sucks. Well, almost everything.

I could go home and happily watch Shrek tonight. That's aimed at kids, too. But unlike any of the recent Star Wars movies, it's actually good.

Yup. Look at almost all of the Pixar films. Obvious children's movies that are still enjoyable.

No argument there. But I don't agree that the first were not kiddie movies. They were.
